So, like Dungeons and Dragons and Judas Priest before them, AI models are now blamed for underlying mental health issues that they have nothing to do with.

Bring on the AI moral panic. As if we didn't have enough of those these days.

Can't wait for the groovy A flat, Asus4-G sharp-sus5, F sharp add11 song, with the C minor dim7 root for the bridge.

The French have an interesting record with tyranny, including lopping off the head of a tyrant, and then lopping off the head of one of the tyrants that was instrumental in the first tyrant's head getting lopped off. The French Revolution makes that puny American War of Independence seem like a stroll in the park.

And perhaps we can also mention how there wouldn't even be a United States if France hadn't given the Continental Congress significant financial and military (particularly naval) aid.

That seems an extraordinarily high efficiency rate. I am very dubious.

Yup, just another example of the Carbon Capture Perpetual Motion Machine Scam. The thermodynamic uphill problem with atmospheric capture is so extreme that if you had enough free energy sitting around to make it worthwhile, you wouldn't need to do any of this.

I'm amused by those who imagine that the laws of physics can be defied merely by looking the other way. It makes me ponder how unbelievably moronic humanity is, how pathetic, and how deserving of what it is come.

You do know that the Apple hardware devices still work, they aren't given a remote kill command, and could just be logged into with another user account?

Issue us, the hardware still works (its not bricked), and software is typically sold "as a service" and not a physical object so there is nothing to refund legally.

Dev thank Apple by making apps for their devices which in turn gives customers reason to buy Apple devices. The issue here is that Apple demands dev to prostrate themselves in front of Apple. These are not the same.

And yes, developers do pay for these things, no one is demanding it for free. Apple deems it's worth $99 a year for the tools, as well as the purchase of there devices. This is the fee they demand all people have to pay to make apps regardless if it has payments or not, it's on their website.

Indeed. Replacing half a century of collective experience with a new language in an entirely different and far less tested environment to write low level code, where all the memory safety features have to be disabled at all the same failure points where C and assembly have been used... for reasons.

So, in other words, it really isn't any better at bare metal development than C/C++. If you have to direct memory and hardware manipulation in unsafe blocks, then really, it's just the same thing as doing it in C.

I'm not sure where to start with this train wreck of a reaponse...

Blantly copying others isn't revolutionary, no matter how hard you want it to be.

Windows 10 was on ARM in 2017, Ubuntu first supported it in 2009. MacOS started using ARM in 2020. I'm not talking about things like Raspberry Pi. I'm also not going into other Linux distros having already supported ARM. These would be some of the major alternatives to macOS which were already using ARM years before Apple.

"power comparable (not to mention better) than any PC mobile-class chip were absolutely new when they made the switch." Where the hell did this come from? I was talking about how others were using ARM years before Apple. This has nothing to do with anything. Your benchmarking comments is just as off topic, we arent talking about x86-64. Small jumps in specs aren't revolutionary when they are using the same common architecture as everyone else has already been using/supporting.

ARM is an acronym, an it stands for "Advance RISC Machines", though the A originally stood for Acorn. So yes, it would be capitalized.

I'm not even going to bother with the rest of your rambling, which most is just repeating what was already quickly disproven.

You entire post reply is lazy, bad, sad, and some of the worst trolling I've seen in years here on Slashdot. Try harder next time.

That would be like saying when Apple switched from PowerPC to Intel CPU is was revolutionary. Switching CPU architecture to a different common CPU architecture isn't what I'd call "revolutionary".

ARM chips weren't new when they made the switch, other desktop OSes were already running on ARM by that point. Now, if they had suddenly come out with MacOS on something new like a quantum CPU, then we'd be talking.

It's quaint that you think the United States is still a republic. It's a monarchy, and Trump's handlers are likely moving currently to make sure that when Vance succeeds him, that the Executive branch and a Congress that will be, through the use of naked force if necessary, remain filled with Republican paper tigers to complement the paper tigers in the Supreme Court, settles into the oligarchy the Framers always really intended it to be. The military will largely be used to recreate the American hemispheric hegemony. The National Guard and ICE will be used as foot soldiers within the US to "secure" elections.

The morons that elected that diseased wicked and demented man have destroyed whatever the hell America was. As a Canadian, I can only hope we can withstand this hemispheric dominance and the raiding of our natural resources to feed the perverse desires of the child molesters, rapists, racists and psychopaths that have already taken control of the US.

Doubtless, I will be downvoted by the remaining MAGA crowd here. You know, the guys that pretended they refused to vote Democrat because Bernie wasn't made leader, but are to a man a pack of Brown Shirts eagerly awaiting the time when they imagine they can take part in the defenestration of American society.
